Engaged!

Lane and I were engaged on July 3rd up in the North Georgia Montains. Some of my family were in town so I only wanted to stay one night. I hadn't done any traveling since my new job at work so I just wanted a little getaway. I chose the Barnsley Gardens Resort. It was a GREAT place. It offered beautiful cabins, a beer garden, horse shoes, bocce ball, just to name a few. We were strolling around when we got there just to take it all in when the subject of dinner came up. While I was curious about the beer garden, Lane was hinting at room service. Needless to say, he kind of had a plan. I was hot, so I didn't care either way. We headed back and decided to order room service. Now I'm a white wine kind of gal, and he's a red. As I'm trying to negotiate which bottle of wine to order, he suggests champagne. I think this is a great compromise. Again, looking back....well played Lane! So, we are sitting on our rockers waiting for our food and it finally comes. Shrimp cocktail, cheese and crackers, and yes, the champagne. The server pours our drinks and Lane suggests we get a picture of the both of us. I don't think anything is strange about that. Up until now, we have been taking pictures of each other with those cheesy stick your arm as far out as you can go and maybe you'll get our two heads in it type pics! So, he tells the lady to get off the porch and physically walks her down to where she should stand. Now....this is where I think it's weird. I'm like, "Honey, do you want me to come down there?" He's like, "No sweetie, I'm just showing her how to work the camera!" I even ask again, I'm wondering what kind of camera needs that much direction and why so far away, but he tells me to stay put! So, I do! Finally, Lane comes bounding back up the steps and down he goes. OMG! And literally, that's what I said over and over! I screamed OMG, grabbed the ring, and put it on my own finger. I think he asked me to marry him somewhere in it all, and I may have said yes (the next day) but he got the point. AND, the server with the camera. Well, she got the play by play almost like it was on a film reel. The food...well it had to wait. Phone calls were made and Facebook was updated. Amy and Lane were engaged! I couldn't have imagined it better.

Today is the Engagement party and I'm super excited but now it's a whirlwind of wedding planning and preparing for the big day. But I'm so happy. I'm getting married! Best of all, to my love, Lane!
